Nice paint job! I really like the way you've gone the extra mile in detailing the body lines in black.
The stock 93t spur and 23t pinion gives a Final Drive Ratio of 4.04:1. This is too high for a 21.5t brushless motor and ESC in "blinky" mode. I run 2.52:1 on an open outside asphalt track with a 40m straight. On a tight indoor track I might suggest 3.0:1 as a good starting point (keeping an eye on motor temps). Others at your track will be able to provide a closer number. You can use a larger pinion to start with but to get down that low you will need to buy a smaller spur gear.
On an unrelated note we've just completed this F1 video to get the juices flowing for 2013:
